Francis Ivan Latoja

Francis obtained his BS degree in Physics in 2025 summa cum laude. His undergraduate thesis involved exploring the electronic properties of twisted NiPS through density functional theory to find out its potential in spintronic and semiconducting applications. His undergraduate studies was supported by a DOST–SEI Undergraduate Merit Scholarship. He is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Physics at the National Institute of Physics as a Teaching Associate.

BS Thesis: 

Exploring the electronic properties of twisted bilayer NiPS₃ using density functional theory
